It's quite old, but I really love "Programming Collective Intelligence" by Toby Segaran. It covers several techniques that are extremely practical, and significantly less computationally intensive as machine learning models.
While the programming language in this book is Python 2, it really goes down to the basics and teaches you techniques/algorithms and not using frameworks. You can go over to the specialised frameworks later on.
